Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 764 North Point Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Pohl Trust, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant upgrades over the past decade. Most notably, in 2021-2022, the building completed mandatory fire safety improvements including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire alarm control panel upgrade, with the work costing approximately $31,200. The building has also seen substantial unit improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 5, 8, and 11 between 2011-2017, with associated plumbing and electrical work properly permitted and completed. A complaint was filed in 2017 regarding unpermitted work, but this appears to have been resolved. The building's mechanical systems received attention in 2012 with the addition of laundry facilities, including electrical work for 110v circuits and plumbing for washer/dryer installations.

The property's fire safety record shows seven documented incidents, mostly consisting of false alarms, system malfunctions, and one contained cooking fire, with no civilian injuries reported in any incident. The building has undergone regular housing inspections in 2000, 2005, and 2007, which were all routine in nature. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to parking issues and scooter complaints outside the building, rather than internal building concerns. The most recent maintenance work appears focused on external sidewalk issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding blocked sidewalks in late 2024.

Risk rating

How 764 North Point St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1099 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 5.8%
Moderate concern 69.4%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
